Andrew V. Uroskie Assistant Professor Department of Art History & Criticism Stony Brook University Stony Brook, NY 11794-5450 andrew.uroskie@stonybrook.edu

Andrew V. Uroskie works on late modern and contemporary art, with a particular interest in the intersection of place, performance and technologies of recording in the art of the 1960s and ‘70s. His first book, Between the Black Box and the White Cube: The Emergence of the Moving Image in Contemporary Art, is forthcoming from the University of Chicago Press. His graduate training within UC Berkeley’s Department of Rhetoric and Film provided him with an interdisciplinary orientation broadly informed by psychoanalysis, phenomenology and post-structuralist theory, and has undergirded his interest in the institutional and discursive construction of aesthetic theories and practices. His essay “La Jetée en Spirale: Robert Smithson’s Stratigraphic Cinema” was published in the MIT press journal Grey Room, and his recent work on the conjunction of cinema and site-specificity has been collected in Art and the Moving Image: A Critical Reader (Tate Modern and Afterall); The Place of the Moving Image (Minnesota); Screen/Space: The Projected Image in Contemporary Art (Manchester), and Impossible Cinema (Centro Montehermoso). He translated Alenka Zupanic's Ethique du Réel: Kant, Lacan for Verso Press in 1999, and was a fellow at the Stanford Humanities Laboratory’s interdisciplinary “Crowds” project from 2000-2005. His essay, "Far Above the Madding Crowd: On the Spatial Logic of Mass Representation" was published in Jeffrey Schnapp, ed., Crowds (Stanford UP, 2006.) At Stony Brook, he is interested in fostering a greater exchange between the fields of art history & criticism, film studies, philosophy, music, and performance, and would welcome collaboration with those working in these fields.
